Hi Anthony, thank you for the question. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend you check the venting system and clean the lint screen. If that is not the issue, we would suggest replacing the cycling thermostat, part number PS11745959. It monitors and regulates the temperature inside the dryer. We hope this sorts out your problem!
Can or do you all have the lint screen part. The handle that you pull out to clean the screen broke off, now it is next to impossible to get it out to clean it.

Hello Edna, thank you for reaching out. The lint filter compatible with your model is part number PS16543574. We hope this solves your problem!
To reach the heating element you only need to open the back cover of the dryer (about 8 nut-head screws). Remember to disconnect the power.
To remove the heating element there are two small nut-head screws. Remove the two electric wires. Then you can pull the heating element away.
You can check the heating element with an ohm-meter or visually inspect it to see if the heating element spiral wire is broken.
Don't hurry to dispose the old element. My model includes a small electric safety part. You'll need to transfer it to the new heating element (that comes without it)..
First tried heating element and thermal fuse with no luck. Ordered thermal cutoff and fixed problem. Had I used an ohm meter first I would have determined problem before having ordered heating element and fuse, as both had resistance. I wast just lazy and ordered the took the most common failed components first before taking dryer back off.
